2. The satellite's KE and PE are both at their maximum value over the entire orbit when the satellite is at apogee |
|
3. The satellite's KE is at its maximum value over the entire orbit and its PE is at its minimum value over the entire orbit when the satellite is at perigee |
|
4. The satellite's KE is at its maximum value over the entire orbit and its PE is at its minimum value over the entire orbit when the satellite is at apogee |
|
5. The satellite's KE and its PE are equal when the satellite is at apogee |
|
6. The satellite's KE is at its minimum value over the entire orbit when the satellite is at apogee |
|
7. The satellite's PE is at its maximum value over the entire orbit when the satellite is at perigee |
|
8. The satellite's PE is at its maximum value over the entire orbit and its KE is at its minimum value over the entire orbit when the satellite is at apogee |
